All desktop oriented Fedora installers install on the system packages:
hunspell
hunspell-en
hunspell-en-GB
hunspell-en-US

When a user opens the language list of the spell checker, is has ~24 different English options, like English (Antigua and Barbuda), English (Australia), English (Bahamas), English (Belize), etc. (See screenshot [1]) People who are not native English speakers have this list even bigger because they will have their own language entry, plus others.

That will be a good enhancement but I would argue that all country specific dictionaries should be on their own package. The Spanish list is no small either, that the Firefox and Thunderbird UI for selection becomes a popup menu bigger than most screens

Since the huge list is brought by hunspell-en, can we just ship Fedora with hunspell-en-GB and hunspell-en-US ? Another option could be to move all non GB/USA English variants to other hunspell-en-* packages as I said in ticket [2]
